13th Age is a new fantasy tabletop roleplaying game from designers Rob Heinsoo and Jonathan Tweet. It’s the game that they run for each other and their friends on game night, playtested by hundreds of groups who provided their own great feedback, illustrated by Lee Moyer and Aaron McConnell, and published later this year by Pelgrane Press.

It’s a familiar game in that you roll a 20-sided die to kill orcs and dragons; but it has some innovative rules to make it different and exciting.

Your character’s personal history, relationships and the one thing that makes him or her unique come into play frequently, instead of being something you write down on the back of your character sheet and then rarely look at again. You are connected to the 13 most powerful people in the world, icons like the Archmage, Lich King, High Druid and Elf Queen. Maybe you’re their ally, maybe you’re their enemy. Maybe you’re a bit of both. As they strive, scheme and fight to achieve their goals, your actions will decide the course of history in this 13th age of the Dragon Empire.

All of the art and sample layouts I’ve seen of this game only make my heart hurt. Cause I need to have this game I haven’t been this excited for a game in a long time. I’m sorry if I’ve been gushing I just can’t help it.
